Ok... I'll admit that part two of this 1980 Topps football wax break may not be as "fun" as part one was. As a matter of fact, as you will see, I get downright irritated. One probably needs to be a longtime collector to really appreciate the mediocrity of the 1980 Topps football set (I'm talking about both the design and the photos here... And what else is there?) I also procure proof of blatant false advertising on the part of Topps, with a lie so devious -- so calculated -- that the sting of unforgiving betrayal burns deep within my soul to this very day.

Will the 24 cards featured in these two packs heal the crippling wound I still feel some 28 years later?

Do you think the reason there are so many pictures with people without helmets sitting on the sidelines is because Topps didn't have a contract with the NFL? I bet the people who chose the pictures did that so they wouldn't have to airbrush every card.
